Gore has always been a workhorse back. He can carry the load. Give him a little daylight and he can still put up good yardage. He just needed the touches man. The first two weeks he was on and off the field so much it was like a revolving door. Leave the man in and let him do what he does best. From this point on Gore has to get 15 plus carries a game. It opens up the playaction pass, saw it last night on the first TD pass. Johnson was wide open and the only way that happens is because Gore was gashing them with the run.

Trent Richardson hits the hole as quick as a dead horse.

#neverforget

LOL that is true, but he was cut by the Raiders and the Bills signed Boom Herron over Trent when they both worked out this past week.  I think Trent had his last chance in the NFL, and is in Ryan Leaf mode now.  I think it's time to move on...

Trent Richardson deserves all the % he gets and then some. He was a lazy, self-aggrandizing piece of crap who probably, to this day, still believes he's the best back in the NFL.

Heady times for Gore as a player.  Just jumped 2 spots to 16 on the all time list.  With any luck (pun intended) he can jump a couple more spots this year.  If he plays again next year with the same effect, the sky's clear for top 8!  Hope you guys appreciate and show him the appreciation for what he's accomplished, and I hope he gets a Superbowl ring with you.

I would love for the Colts to release Robinson and sign Bradshaw this weekend. Gore and Bradshaw together could be huge for our offense.

 

I'm praying we sign Ahmad soon..

 

Maybe they will sign him towards the end of the season or in the home stretch for the playoffs. . . 

 

We really do need a good pass catching back.  Bradshaw really showed what could be if we incorporated that into our offense.

Exactly this ^^^^^^

 

It is like Gore said during the post game show. The more carries he gets the more production you will get from him. He needs to at least get 15 touches a game, and let him do his thing. Boy is it nice to have a great running back that has elite vision.

Robinson can't get better or experience without playing. You have to take ups with the downs. Let the kid develop, and that means more than just 5 games. On top of that, they aren't releasing a draft pick they see potential in. Tipton, on the other hand, can be the guy the let go for Bradshaw if necessary.

I don't think we can afford to wait on Robinson to develop. We can, but not as the #2. It's too important to get positive snaps out of whoever spells Gore and Robinson has done very little positive with his chances.

He's only had 17 carries through 5 games so far. That's way to early to give up on him. Don't get me wrong I'm down with getting Bradshaw, but not at the expense of Robinson as another poster suggested.

With about 90 seconds left in the game, I wanted Gore to get one more carry to put him over 100 yards before the Colts went into Victory formation, but I got no satisfaction.  Oh well, you can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes...

I'll admit, i was thinking the same thing however, today, I look back and its the right call.  Could you imagine the forum explosion if pags had ran Gore for those 2 yards and he had gotten hurt or fumbled and the texans returned it for a TD...

I'm not giving up on him, I just don't think he's good enough right now to be our #2.

    • And those are about the best signings the Colts have done under Ballard in 8 years.    Has Ballard even spent over $10+m once in a FA? Gilmore maybe? That’s once. In going on 8 years.    Noone does what Ballard does and he hasn’t had success doing it, so noone’s trying to replicate it. 
    • For your consideration….   Nobody knew who Ebukam was when the Colts signed him week 2 last year.   And nobody knew who Denico Autry was when the Colts signed him in week 2.   “Who?” Was the most popular comment both times.  They turned out really well.      Im not sayin Ballard is going to do it again this year, it hasn’t happened every year, all I’m saying it’s happened from time to time so it’s still possible that CB will find a keeper that people here will like. 
    • Could he do it?  Sure, but it is much tougher for him than most owners in the NFL.  The Colts just layed out $200 million this free agency.  I imagine over half in guaranteed money.  That’s a lot for Jim. 
    • With all that said...       
    • Spending doesn't mean you will win. You still need to spend smart and you still need to draft well and overall make good decisions.    Not spending limits you in your roster construction. I don't know why it's so hard for people to understand. The best teams in the league use ALL available avenues for improving their team. They do not limit themselves artificially with what's possible to achieve. They also concentrate resources into windows of contention. This means at any given time, if you are not spending you are competing against teams that are pouring resources into trying to win it RIGHT NOW. You will just always be at disadvantage because while 1 specific team will need to reload and take their lumps for spending too much in short period of time once in a while, the league as a whole will always have at least a few teams that are in that high spending mode chasing a window for contention.    Now... is it possible you strike gold and beat those teams while relying almost exclusively on the draft? It's possible. If you string together a few insane draft classes. But it's not very likely...
